Not really. They all work basically the same as far as gaming goes.
Buy based on what features you need. What may be significant to you is the ability to host Remote Desktop connections. If that is, Home is ruled out. I would venture a guess that the features Pro has you don't probably need (namely the ability to join a domain based network), so that would lead you more towards MCE.
If you do listen to music, play a lot of DVD's, and want to do DVR stuff, MCE is awesome! Especially DVR, it's like a TiVo without the subscription fees!
